Overview

The inherently variable nature, along with their situation in often remote and harsh locations, brings a number of challenges – not least ensuring secure and reliable supplies. Being able to store energy makes systems more flexible, environmentally-friendly and efficient, and the supply more secure.

Increasing energy efficiency and meeting environmental challenges

Saft has designed a range of batteries and battery systems to use and integrate with renewables, optimizing energy efficiency, increasing grid-management flexibility, reducing infrastructure investment and optimizing real-time power flow.

We can draw on extensive experience and knowledge in advanced energy storage to help customers specify, design, implement and operate energy solutions in complex multi-functional application schemes. We can provide turnkey solutions that integrate a Saft Li-ion battery system with power-conversion devices as well as power control and energy-management functions.

Saft offers a range of indoor and outdoor batteries delivering efficient energy storage from 100 kW to tens of MW for use along the whole energy supply chain. Our high-performance Li-ion technologies deliver long service under dynamic cycling conditions and cover all critical-system control functions. They are highly reliable and have high operational availability, high-energy efficiency and are low maintenance even in extreme conditions.

Saft’s Li-ion energy solutions are used for:

  • Ancillary services
  • Large renewable integration (PV and wind farm) installations
  • Microgrids
  • Smart distribution grids
  • End-user energy optimization
